From Augusta Chronicle:
Secretary of State Brian Kemp announced Wednesday that he will appoint a non-partisan panel to recommend election reforms.
He made a brief announcement at the beginning of the monthly meeting of the State Elections Board that he chairs. He told the five-man board and the local elections officials in the audience that the panel will hold hearings around the state for input.
“My thought is we need to look at this as reform but also how can we reduce costs in elections to our counties and to the state,” he said.
Kemp said he would appoint the panel in coming weeks and that it would meet throughout the year. It will make its recommendations for legislation during the 2012 session.
